Chapter 23 - Thousand Treasure Pavilion
Chapter 23 - Thousand Treasure Pavilion
Bai Rouyun was looking like an attractive young woman from a noble family as she left the Yun Palace.
Following behind her was an average looking man, who seemed no more than twenty-five years of age. He was neither humble nor arrogant, but he was vigilant as he observed the surroundings.
Anyone who looked at these two, and the way they were walking, was able to tell that this was a young lady of a noble family with her bodyguard.
They quickly slipped into the bustling streets, merging with the many pedestrians that were bustling through the streets.
Bai Rouyun knew nothing of the capital; she had no memories, so she had no other option than to roam the streets in a search for a herbal store. Maybe a medicine store would also have a few seeds.
She had the whole first floor of the Primal Chaos Pagoda to plant; it was basically a massive field waiting to be used for farming, so Bai Rouyun was going to use this wonderful place.
Even better was it that if she left a herb within the Primal Chaos Dimension for one day, it would be equivalent to a year of growth in the outside world.
If she left it for a hundred days, she would have a hundred-year-old medicinal plant, and those were already immensely rare.
Bai Rouyun was already feeling breathless when she thought about how rich she would be in the future. In her past life, although she was a highly ranked cultivator, she was poor.
She had grown up relying on herself, and she had gained her wealth by robbing graves and entering danger zones.
She had always wanted to be an alchemist or have some profession, but she was aware that it was impossible for her back then.
Things were completely different now. She had Xiao Bao to teach her pill concocting and elixir refinement. She was going to use Xiao Bao to his limits.
"You are too devious," a voice suddenly popped into Bai Rouyun's mind, and she instantly recognized it as being Xiao Bao's.
Knowing that the artifact spirit had realized her thoughts, Bai Rouyun was not feeling ashamed. Instead, she smiled wickedly and grinned, "Xiao Bao, quickly call me Mommy! When Mommy needs help, you will help her, right?"
She could hear the artifact spirit sigh as if the world had been dropped onto his shoulders. "Stop being so shameless," he complained. "Anyway, I will help you learn alchemy if you wish to learn it. Not only alchemy, but I can also teach you armament crafting, inscriptions, formations, and beast taming. But the requisite is that you don't die."
Bai Rouyun was not insulted by the words Xiao Bao said. After all, there was truth to his words. She did not doubt that everyone would do their best to kill her if they knew she had the Primal Chaos Pagoda with her.
"Xiao Bao is the best!" Bai Rouyun said and grinned, her mood happy. Hearing the happiness in her voice, Xiao Bao was also feeling pleased within the Primal Chaos Dimension for a brief moment, until he realized his feelings.
He then harrumphed and refused to dwell on the thoughts anymore before he stumped towards the hut.
Although Bai Rouyun was not within the dimension, she could still sense what was happening, and her grin widened. She saw every small action that Xiao Bao was taking.
They had walked quite far down the street, and Bai Rouyun had started to get a grasp of the prices of various items from the loud shouts of the hawkers and the merchants.
She had, with her, around five hundred thousand gold coins, and from what she could sense from the other's shouts, this was a sizable amount of money.
The General's mansion had given her a decent dowry, likely because they were afraid of being accused of bullying, or because they feared that Prince Yun would take offense.
They had reached the center square of the capital. Here, the most prominent building, apart from the royal palace, was located. It was a building that belonged to the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, a faction that was spread over the entire world.
Even the most influential sects and families dared not fight with this Thousand Treasures Pavilion because they were the richest in the world, and they had nurtured many geniuses over the years. Not only this, but they had also invited many experts to be their Elders in return for benefits.
Bai Rouyun was not very surprised that this kingdom had a branch, and she was very excited. This place was bound to have what she was looking for!
The bodyguard saw that Bai Rouyun was aware of the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, and he frowned slightly. He did not understand this woman and who she was, but since his master had said that she was fine, then he would not go against her. Still, she was an intriguing puzzle to him, and he would like answers at some point.
Bai Rouyun could not be bothered to think about the thoughts of the guard that was following her. Looking at the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, she instantly went towards the entrance.
But before she had the time to reach it, a large carriage came down the road at a rapid speed. The beast that pulled it was a Fire Unicorn, although not a true Qilin, it had a bit of Qilin blood in it, and it could reach the holy rank if appropriately trained.
Not many were capable of using it as a means of transportation, so everyone wisely left space for the carriage.
Unfortunately, Bai Rouyun had not seen it in time, so Mo Chu, the guard, rushed to her side and grabbed her out of danger's way.
